If you are relatively new to wearing
contact lenses you may be wondering how often you need to replace them. There
are a lot of advantages to wearing replacement lenses – like daily disposable
contact lenses , and for many these can be a great choice when it is time
to buy contact lenses online from Lenses Online. The best thing about
disposable contact lenses is that compared to other lenses
they are relatively inexpensive.

In general disposable lenses should be
replaced every one to two weeks while frequent replacement lenses tend to last
that little bit longer – between one to three months before they will need to
be replaced. These lenses are also referred to as disposable lenses, and the
final category of lenses are known as reusable lenses.

Today while people still wear hard contact
lenses, the soft lens seems to be a more popular choice amongst lens wearers.
Hard or rigid lenses do not need to be replaced as frequently as they are more
durable, being made from a thicker plastic. With the correct cleaning
hard contacts can last (potentially) up to 2 years, if your prescription
changes or the lens gets damaged or contaminated then they will need to be
replaced immediately.

Soft lenses are thinner which makes them a
little more comfortable to wear, most people prefer the soft lenses as they are
easier to get use to wearing, more comfortable and much easier to replace.
While there are a few reasons for the replacement of contact lenses it is
important to note that by replacing your contact lenses on schedule prevents
damage to your eye, so the style of contact lenses you buy online will dictate
when they need to be replaced.

Lenses Online have a range of soft lenses
available for sale from daily lenses to monthly contact
lenses . Cleaning solutions available when you buy contact lenses online
are important to maintain the hygiene needed to protect your eyes, over time
residue from your eyes can make lenses uncomfortable to wear.
